[Simon Soh]

our draft itinerary basically will cover 2N in Phuket after the 1st day in Hatyai, then after we will proceed back to Hatyai for Songkran. Songkran in Hatyai will not waste us another day to stay in Hatyai before heading south back to Sgp, & also for safety reason to prevent post-Songkran along the way from Phuket to Hatyai.

 

as per ur 'trip schedule' we r still into planning what program we will have, once its confirmed we will post up the itinerary officially.

 

our trip is open to all class of bikes if he/she could fulfil our minimum travelling speed of at least 110-120km/h, very much suitable for couple or biker of any experience who r into riding comfortly, but not obligated for those who wana travel at ur own comfortable pace.

 

unless it's longhual else we will have requirements for participant to fulfil before confirming trip.

Hi, just a check. How much for the accomodation at Hatyai or is it inclusive of the $180?

[Simon Soh]

the price of S$180/pax we quoted is for 2sharing accomodation to a room for the whole trip, the cost of whole room is S$360 for couple OR anyone wana have a room by him/herself OR any 2 friend wana share a room together.

 

this ride will be a relax ride trip, non-longhual, ideally for couples & an experience for beginners to ride in foreign land. covergae distance could look lengthy but from our quoted travelling speed of 110-120km/h & routined fuel stops made riding stress minimal.

 

our quoted travelling speed r not obligated for anyone who wish to travel at ur comfortable speed, the trip is open to all.
